Short Bio if you like: I was born in 1981. Got my first pony Lickety split when I was four, and started collecting them.
I grew up like all the kids do, and thought it was my time to pass the ponies to my younger cousins...
At the age of 16 I realized what a terrible mistake I had made and started collecting ponies again. I managed to buy some of my childhood ponies back from my cousins, but a big lot of them never came back to me, since some of them had found new owners again...
My cousin/friend Paula, who is couple of years older than I am, started collecting ponies too after I had been re-collecting them about 4 years... She has almost as many or even more ponies than I have now, though she has been collecting them for such short time...
We go to fleamarkets together now, and God help those people that get in our way when we both see a pony standing somewhere.... We're like two nutcases trying to race through obstacles to reach the pony before the other one does...
And gosh! The adrenaline and enorphine after you get that pony in your hands, and it's all yours...! 8)
